    Notes:


    [levi_chapman_lewis.ged]

    From the Wyoming and Lackawanna Valleys History: "Both his parents and all four grandparents are direct descendants of John Lewis, the founder of this family in America. Oliver Lewis resided some years in his native town and there married Eunice Chapman, and they were the parents of fourteen children: Oliver a blacksmith by trade, but was better known as the weeping prophet. He traveled on horseback throughout the Wyoming Valley, and as a result of his labors hundreds of men were converted.... The family removed to Orange County, New York, where death claimed his loving wife an dhelpmate. Subsequently he removed to Exeter Township, six miles above West Pittston, Pennsylvania. Here Oliver Lewis and his children resided, and here he died."
